SE, Please increase primal drops or add Token System

[Mihana]

So wait, does only ONE weapon drop now per win which must be decided upon between 8 players, or 8 weapons just at a random chance that someone actually wants the weapon? I haven't fought any of the Hard Mode Primals yet but if they're seriously 1 per win having a random chance of getting it divided by 8 people then I'm not interested. Last thing I need is to do this in a DF group and have the weapon I want drop, but someone who decides just to be a troll rolls and obtains it instead...

I just hope they could at least make the RNG a bit smarter,
*Ifrit Dead*
*A random weapon that none in the party uses*
*Pass**Pass**Pass**Pass**Pass**Pass**Pass**Pass*

Waste of time. Oh btw it took 31 ifrit runs for me to get my Lance, and around 11 garuda runs for lance.

I agree with the OP as well. A token system would work out better in a few ways. First off someone could do the fight as a healer or a tank and still get a DPS weapon if they desired, if they had a token system. Secondly it would be fair for all players doing the run. From my days of FFXI, i know how it is to get the short end of the stick for drops. Took me two years to get my Byakkos(sp) Haidate. And it took my brother only one fight... So with my kind of luck, i'd be more inclined to go for the token system.

No!... no more effin tokens. Had enough of that crap. "Oh no poor Timmy has had bad luck, lets give him his loser trophy so he'll feel accomplished" Not sure if maybe an increase in drop rate for some weapons are needed but more token b/s is defninitely not.

I can hardly remember the last time I was excited for winning an end game item drop thanks to those stupid tokens. I much prefer 100 runs with nothing then with a huge "wooh! Finally! /equip" at the 101st, than a "I need to run this exactly 20 times to get enough tokens."

you know people use tombestones for crafting materials right? Its not just for weapons and armor.

So im part of the lucky people ..cos me i got my Ifrit bow after 2 ifrit kill in 2 days

Edit : PS : for those who don't know. If your the only Job in the party and the weapon drop. that mean you can need and other cant. So you have a 100 chance to have it

[Evangela]

it's so funny cuz I got my weapon from my 4th attempt.

Hello,

First off, sorry for the delayed response on this. We understand that there are requests to implement a token system for primal rewards, however, we currently do not have plans to introduce such a system.

As always, we will continue to review your feedback on this topic, so please be sure to let us know your thoughts.

Hi. my suggestion would be that the weapon drop should only be for a job thats in the current party setup. Like if a DRG in not in the party, then the lance shouldnt be the drop.

Everytime Garuda drops a book I am not in the group.

Everytime she DOES drop a book, it's SMN.....

Scumbag Garuda!

i have this same problem with ifrit.. seen the SMN book about 3 times but never the SCH and I just KNOW the one time i do see the SCH book it will be in a random DF group with a second SCH and i will roll a 1 lol..

I don't think it needs a token system but i do think they need to look at drop % and chance.. cos I have ran ifrit 27 times so far and have seen 10 MNK claws and about 8 BLM cudgels.. 1 PLD sword, 1 MRD axe.. etc.. so it doesnt seem right

[Gurpsmeister]

Sorry, I've now run ifrit over 50 times, seen the WHM cane ONCE and it went to the other guy. Token system needed, this kind of loot system does nothing for anyone.

[Neasa]

I could have swore during beta they were going to have a token system for this primals...

Among other things... But that's for another topic.

The best thing people can do is make a dedicated farming group... Using duty finder, or even recruiting random people on your server tends to end with bad results.
I got stuck using the HQ relic-to-be bow on my way to relic, as Ifrit and Garuda refused to give me a drop, and I hated holding people back due to bad luck.
